Pray this Lazaroo with inexpressible gratitude:

“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.”
(Hebrews 4:9-11)

I rest, Jesus –

from my futile work of attempting to earn my salvation.

I can’t – no matter how hard I try.

I confess that my faith in You –

Your death, burial and resurrection –

is my only hope for eternal life!

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting excitement:

“…and with trumpets…”
(Ezra 3:10)

You love trumpets, Jesus!

There’s the Festival of Trumpets –
a day of sabbath rest commemorated with trumpet blasts.

You designated two silver trumpets to call Your people together.

You sent your armies to war with the blast of trumpets.

At the last trumpet, the bodies of those who’ve trusted You
will be raised to life and eternally transformed.

You sure love trumpets!

Or maybe we’re the ones who love trumpets

…and You love us.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…except for a short rest in the shelter.”
(Ruth 2:7)

I can’t work all the time, Jesus.

That’s not how You created me.

You made me in Your image

and You took a one-day-out-of-seven rest.

It’s instructive to note that Ruth took a short rest.

That’s all she – or I – need.

But it’s also important to remember

that she took advantage of a shelter
out from under the heat of the sun.

O God!

Will You be my Shelter?
